Thread Name: Cat Stevens aka Islam
Subject: RE: Cat Stevens aka Islam
I love Cat Stevens' music. However, I heard him in an interview support the "kill Salman Rushdie" campaign. He is allowing his religious beliefs cloud his sanity. What about freedom of speech? Freedom of expression? Rushdie, on of the finest minds of our time is still in hiding after all these years. What has that to do with loving god and humanity?

Cat Stevens is gone. The songs remain.
